Skeptical. I want them to be sure because it is a serious charge. I want them to be sure. If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster and they were wrong. I want them to be sure. I think it is unfair if they dont know. I know a lot about hacking. Hacking is a hard thing to prove. It could be somebody else. I also know things that other people dont know. So they cannot be sure of the situation. What do you know that other people dont know . You will find out on tuesday or wednesday. Reporter in addition to the trump private intelligence briefing, we could learn more about the alleged hack during the Senate Armed Services committee. Republican john mccain who has a different view than the president elect of the hack called for the briefing. Meanwhile, trump has three weeks to go to round out his staff and a few major cabinet positions still open. Including the secretary of vet and rans affairs and secretary of agriculture. Thank you, ryan. Overnight, 35 Russian Diplomats expelled from the United States and landing in moscow. The administration ordered the Russian Diplomats to leave along with their families. Nice this time of year. Go to the beach on the way back to moscow. Tomorrow, the 115th congress will gavel in session with the republicans in control. Republican leaders vowing to get to work immediately trying to rollback obamacare. Democrats trying to fight back. One of the democrats is the nations current senior democrat. President obama. He will go to capitol hill on wednesday for a rare joint meeting with democrats from both the house and senate. They want to try to do what they can to create some protections for his Signature Health plan. Donald trump was asked about these meetings over the weekend. Hes president until january 20th. And after that, it is our turn. So we will see what happens. He has to protect what he wants to do and perhaps you could say his legacy. You know if you look at obamacare with over 100 increases. It is unaffordable. It doesnt work. Bill clinton said it. Maybe he shouldnt have said it during the campaign. He said it. It is unaffordable. It doesnt work. It has been crazy. So what does repeal mean . Obamacare doesnt just touch those on the exchanges. All americans have felt the effects of the afford able care act. What would dismantling it mean for you . First off, experts expect 59 million americans would be uninsured by 2019. That is 30 million more people than right now. Fewer people may enroll after the tax credits to help pay for prima premiums would disappear. Even those with workbased insurance could see a rise if cost. The average family pays 4,400 less. Seniors on medicare pay 700 less. Free Preventive Care and free prescriptions for seniors and protecting people with pr preexisting conditions. Republicans have promised to keep that measure in place. Advocates worry americans wont have the same protections as before. The preexisting conditions, some people in health care economists tell me that is the cornerstone of obamacare. If you repeal obamacare, but replace it with something essentially keeps kids 26 and under on insurance and cant ban somebody for preexisting conditions. They will replace with something else. We will as of january 20th see what republicans and then President Trump will do. Joining us to breakdown everything going on in the world of politics is eugene scott in denver. Mountain time for eugene scott this morning. Thats early. Eugene, the biggest story as we head into this week is donald trump telling us he has a secret. He knows something we dont when it comes to alleged russian hacking into the u. S. Election. President obama just issued the list of sanctions kicking out Russian Diplomats or spies in the United States. Sean spicer was asked about all of this on the sunday shows this week. Listen to what sean said. Does he accept that russia was behind this . He has to have the brief from the Intelligence Community. Everyone in the media wants to jump forward and make a conclusion based off other sourced information that are coming out of the Intelligence Community. He will do this right. Clearly the Obama Administration and president obama thinks something went on here and president elect donald trump is not willing to say so yet. That is true. It is the question of getting the information. The problem is the president elect has been criticized for repeatedly for taking a long time to get the information. Many of his critics said he should have made himself available weeks ago. What he knows or claims to know that no one else knows is in question for many people who have seen this issue or approached it differently from him because the thought has been he hasnt been in the position in situations to get the information that he needs to be able to assess this situation accurately. He has shown distrust for the people advising him on what to do about this. Thats a point that adam schiff made yesterday. Listen to that. He needs to stop talking this way. If he needs to have credibility as president , he needs to stop talking this way and denigrating the Intelligence Community. He will rely on them. You can question intelligence. There have been intelligence failures over the past ten years. Very notable failures. Does donald trump need to change his tack in listening to the recommendations of the folks . There have been intelligence failures as there have been in any Government Organization where you deal with human beings. The challenge that donald trump has as he mentioned this past weekend as he references the failures with iraq, he doesnt acknowledge the fact that the information he is being presented regarding russia is not from those same people. He is causing some people to doubt many of his allies when the reality is we are talking about a Different Group of individuals and intelligence. The other fascinating things is what will be an 18day battle. It will go beyond that by a week or two over president obamas legacy. He wants to do on the way out and what president elect donald trump wants to do on the way in. You have president obama going to capitol hill to meet with senate and House Democratic leaders on wednesday to strategize and protect obamacare. I dont know how much they can do, eugene, if the Republicanled Congress is intent on beginning the process of repealing it. Right. We know that Mitch Mcconnell has been vocal in supporting the desire to see obamacare repealed as quickly as possible. In addition to the president , the current president , we know that nancy pelosi is meeting with the democrats today hoping to figure out an approach and solution to making sure that the current president s legacy remains in place. I will Say Something that the incoming president S Administration is paying a lot of attention. Pushing back from supporters to see obamacare dismantled, but concerned about remaining insur insured. And going back to what trump knows over what others dont know. He said ill tell you on december 15th, how im going to pull myself out of my business. Then he backed away from giving more details. What do we know about the tuesday or wednesday finally learning what the president elect knows that we dont know. We dont know a lot about the plans. In fact, in addition to what you ju just shared, there is doubt about it will happen based an past statements. Including a press conference to reporters after his election. So at this point, no Additional Information has been given which has led some people to believe not only if he actually knows as much as he says he does. If this information will even be disseminated. You geeugene scott, nice to you. We will get you out on the slopes. Isis claiming responsibility on the istanbul nightclub that killed 39 people and injured 70 more. Including one american identified by the state department as William Jacob raak. An International Manhunt under way. Cnns ian lee with the latest. H this is an interesting turn. An attacker on the loose. Almost providing terror after the initial terror attack. Where are they looking for this person . Reporter thats right. This is different from previous attacks we have seen in turkey where most of the times just a bomb goes off or Suicide Attack and the perpetrator is dead. This is a bitter p terrifying. 36 hours since the attack. We are not hearing from the police with a name or identity. They have not released a photo of the perpetrator. That means they are keeping that close because they dont want to reveal anything or worse they dont know. The best idea we have at this time is coming from that cctv video of the man committing the crime the night it happened. Right now, there is a large nationwide manhunt taking place. We are hearing from the Prime Minister saying he hopes it will be done quickly. They will get him. Theres a large coordination with the security services. Right now, he is public enemy number one. With him being an isis operative, if in fact, he is. If isis did carry this out. We cannot independently verify that. There is a bit of a ticking clock. We have seen isis claim responsibility for its soldiers when there has been the piggy backing on something that is politically advantageous to them in their view. What can you tell me about the club, ian . This was a popular club with westerners and multicultural backgrounds. Affluent group. Reporter thats right. Thats probably what made it such a large target. Isis statement made reference to this club in particular saying this is where people were going to celebrate the christian new year. A lot of the victims were muslim. This is a club where you get a lot of the actors and movie stars and singers and athletes as well as the welltodo come here. It is a symbol of cosmopolitan istanbul. That made it such a large target. Police knew that leading up. The owner of the club said there were patrols and increased check points. Coast guard stepped up patrols in the area leading up to the new years celebration. An increased police checkpoint. They were waiting for something. Although this gunman slipped into the club and killed 39 people and injured about 70. He was able to slip away into the chaos. Ian lee. Keep us up to speed on developments in the manhunt. Ian lee in istanbul. Queen elizabeth sick at home. She missed her second Holiday Church Service in a row. We are live outside buckingham p palace with all the details. Thats coming up.

She did not attend new years church services. She is up and working. Cnns phil black outside Buckingham Palace. Of course, the age of the monarch is what causes people concern when she has been down with the flu for so long or with a cold for so long. Reporter absolutely, christine. Certainly the feeling. Buckingham palace wants everyone to know it is just a cold and she is recovering. We can assume it is really significant nasty cold. It is stopping the queen from doing things she takes seriously. That is getting to church over holiday period. She missed out on christmas day. That pretty much never happens. She missed out yesterday on new years day. Incredibly rare. Buckingham palace going out of its way to make people aware of the fact that the 90yearold monarch is dealing with a nasty, persistent, lingering cold. There has been a bit of speculation online about the Queens Health through social media. The palace is trying to get out ahead of that and letting people know she is up and about and she is moving and she is working. Still receiving the red boxes she gets from government full of documents and briefing papers she stays on top of in her role as official head of state. The british Winter Weather is chilly. No place for anyone with a cold. The queen has been staying indoors on her sandringham estate. The next scheduled public appearance is next weeks church service. We are looking ahead to that to see about her recovery. We wish her well. Phil black, thank you.

Christine, experts are pointing to the fact that north korea conducted conducted a launch of a satellite which seems to be a template for a longrange test. Other than that, we know north korea has successfully tested short and midrange missiles, but not longrange missiles. Majority of those have failed.

The president elect continues to downplay the Intelligence Community that the russian government is behind the hack. This despite statements from republicans and democrats who have been briefed on the matter. During the new years eve gathering at maralago, trump told reporters he remains skeptical of the assessment. I want them to be sure. It is a serious charge. I want them to be sure. If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster and they were wrong. I think it is unfair if they dont know. I know a lot about hacking. Hacking is a very hard thing to prove. It could be somebody else. I also know things that other people dont know so they cannot be sure of the situation. What do you know that other people dont know . Youll find out on tuesday or wednesday. Reporter in addition to trumps private briefing, we could learn more about the alleged hack during the hearing of a Senate Armed Services committee.

Waf ov waft over us. Brand new year, same old berman. Breaking all this down for us is eugene scott in the denver bureau. We love your dedication to start the new year. I hope our bosses are awake. Lets talk about sean spicer. The spokesman for president elect trump. He was asked on abc do you accept what the intelligence sources are saying. Listen to that exchange. Does he accept that russia was behind this . Like i said, he has to have the briefing from the Intelligence Community. It is not a question of not there yet, jonathan. It is the question of getting the information. Everyone wants to make a conclusion based off other sourced information. Anonymous sources from the int l Intelligence Community. He wants to do this right. He said he knows things we dont know. He will reveal that later. What do we make of this . Mr. Spicer is right. It is a question of getting the information. The challenge that people are having is why has it taken the president elect so long to get the information as we have reported repeatedly donald trump has not made himself available for the Daily National security briefs to give him the facts he will need to respond to this situation appropriately. In terms of him knowing more or at least knowing things that other people do not know, it is not really clear right now how he could know that. He is not engaging in the sessions to give him facts. He had said he will have one of this main National Security briefings within the next week. It will be interesting to see what comes of that. Of course, he did say answering the questions and he would tell us this week what he learned what we dont know. Unclear whether or not that would happen. It sounds like ill hold a press conference on december 15th to tell you about my financial plans. That is something occasionally never comes to fruition. President obama has 18 days left in office. He is going to capitol hill on wednesday to meet with Senate Democrats and house members to figure out a way we are told to protect obamacare. As if he is trying to frame and protect his legacy on the way out the door. That is not surprising, john, considering this is one of the landmark pieces of legislation from hiS Administration. He does not want to see it leave. The challenge is the president elect has been very vocal about his desire to see obamacare repealed. We have seen Mitch Mcconnells support of that. I believe nancy pelosi is meeting with leaders today. There is going to be quite a bit of push back from the left toward president elect donald trump as they try to dismantle this. It will not be as easy a move. Another minor headline for the weekend. It says something about who is the president elect and what personality we will get in the white house. The golf club kerfuffle. An author who wrote a book. He and another foursome including a writer about donald trump. You see him there. He apparently went up to donald trump. Harry hurt says to congratulate him on the election. Trump made clear that he did not like that harry hurt was playing on the course. Trump claims security told hurt to go. This man wrote a very unflattering biography of donald trump. This goes to show he doesnt let things slide. No. Very much so. Donald trump is known by some of his critics to hold grudges when he feels like he has been treated unfairly. Many of us in the media have seen that first hand. I think the reality though is that the president elect is going to have to get used to not only more criticism, but perhaps more books pushing back on his policies and world views as he moves forward because that is how authors and the media respond. Eugene scott. Getting the award for new year dedication. 3 40 a. M. Mountain time. Nice to see you. Thanks. Happy new year. Eugene is killing the 2017 thing. Breaking news. Isis has claimed responsibilities for the terror attack on the istanbul nightclub that killed 39 people and injured 70 more. Including one identified american right now. That man according to the state department is William Jacob raak. An International Manhunt is under way for the unidentified attacker. Cnns ian lee is live in istanbul. Ian, we now have a claim of responsibility. Reporter that is right. We thought it was isis before they claimed responsibility mainly because it bears the hallmarks of the isis attack. On twitter, isis saying they were the ones behind it. One of their soldiers carried it out targeting the nightclub. Targeting a christian celebration of new years. It is important to note many of the victims of the attack were muslims celebrating the new year. Isis saying this is retribution for turkey involvement in syria. They are battling in the city of al baab. Turkish forces hope to take that city soon. Turkey and isis have been battling it out. Isis hand been cas been carryin attacks. There is a nationwide manhunt under way. According to the Prime Minister, there is strong coordination. If this man is an isis operative, there is fear he will try to sneak back into syria. There is a ticking clock to capture him. Ian, tell us about the nightclub attacked. International center for all people to come and celebrate. Reporter that is right. A symbol of cosmopolitan istanbul. Famous. One of the longest running nightclubs in the city. Frequented by actors, athletes, celebrities. You also get welltodo and welltodo tourists that go there. They had a huge new year celebration with hundreds of people gathering there. In the isis message, they said they were specifically targeted this place. The owner of the nightclub has said he had frequent visits by Security Forces and they were in the area. The coast guard had stepped up patrols as well. A heavy security presence on the night of new years eve. Yet this man was able to sneak in and shoot up the nightclub and leave. He is still on the run 36 hours later. Ian, this follows just weeks after the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to turkey. You get the sense the situation in turkey and around the country right now, there are serious concerns. Reporter there are. Opposition parties in turkey are seizing on that saying that president erdogan is not doing a good job. Also his endeavors in syria are making it more dangerous. There are the questions about security now. A lot of turks were expected to go out to celebrate the new year. When that day came, it was noticeably empty around the city. A lot of people afraid to go outside. In my hotel, i was talking to a man who said he did not want to go outside for new year because he was afraid something was going to happen. Unfortunately a number of attacks by kurdish militants and pkk over the past year and a half and into the new year of 2017. It looks like those attacks will continue. Ian lee for us in istanbul.

It is stopping the queen doing things she takes seriously. That is getting to church over holiday period. She missed out on christmas service. That hasnt happened in three decades. She missed again for the first of the year. We look ahead to next week and get a sense of the recovery. The palace is concerned about the possibility of speculation about the Queens Health. We saw a bit of that after a fakes news twitter account claiming the queen had died. A great deal of speculation on social media. The palace is moving to keep that down and ensure everyone knows the queen, the 90yearold monarch, is recovering. She is okay. She is essentially trapped indoors in sandringham estate. That is a precaution. She is still working and receiving the documents and briefing papers she gets from government. She must stay on top of in her role as the british head of state.
